This was the incredible moment Matt Ian from San Francisco and his friends rescued a seal in the middle of the sea off Namibia.<br /><br />The clip filmed on July 20, unfortunately, is a regular occurrence according to the filmer due to the area being a regular fishing area, resulting in a lot of leftover equipment floating in the sea.<br /><br />The footage shows the kayakers all teaming together to attempting to get the seal free from the mass of fishing line around his neck.<br /><br />“It's seldom that we can actually get close enough to the entangled animals in the water to grab them.<br /><br />“I felt this guy kept coming to me and allowed me to grab him. This was the 5th attempt to free him! He gave up a good fight and got be totally soaked but we won in the end!” Matt told Newsflare.
